Wow,
is it really 3 years since I posted anything! Trust me I'm not dead, just
busy with other things.

Anyway, onto the real reason for the update... During my daily web-trawl
I noticed that Notaz has finally got Virtua Racing working! This is no mean
feat as it is the only game to use the "SVP Chip", a co-processor built into
the game cartridge itself much like the SFX games for the SNES, and there
is no documentation available on this chip... SEGA managed to loose it!

If you go to Notaz's site
(http://notaz.gp2x.de/svp.php)
there are plenty of screenshots for you to drool over, and a download of
the current build for you to play with. Notaz has also kindly made all his
research notes available at the same site, so you can probably expect other
emulators to include support at some point in the future, I noticed over
at the
Tavern that Steve Snake has been looking
at the documents for example.

This is probably the "final piece" as far as Genesis emulation goes, as I
now believe that every game is emulated to at least a playable point with
the vast majority of them being perfect.

Hats off to Notaz (and all the other emu devs out there)

Another
day, another update! Thanks to
Adrián Bernardi
the Gens manual (v2.0)
is now also available in Spanish. I'd like to thank
Adrián for all
his hard work on this project, which was actually finished shortly after
the site went down 18 months ago. Fortunately
Adrián still had
all the files to hand following my hard drive crash last year and he recently
contacted me via
the Eidolon's
Inn so that we could finally get the ball rolling again. Click on
the Gens logo above
for the download page and enjoy.

Whilst I was updating the site I thought I'd add a couple new Mega-CD manual
scans I did recently for
Chuck Rock (Mega-CD)
and Dune (Mega-CD).

Thanks
to jblee1170 over at
the Eidolon's
Inn for pointing out that the last version of the
Gens manual I made
was v2.00, not v1.90 as I had posted here! After a bit of rooting around
I found a copy on one of my backup discs, along with a complete backup of
the site... now why couldn't I find that a couple of months ago when I needed
it, bloody typical. Unfortunately the only other thing on the backup, besides
the updated manual itself, was the accompanying news article so I haven't
recovered any other "missing" files. I haven't found the source code for
this version of the manual yet either but in any case the correct version
is now available for download again.
